Satellite DishAs you know, I’ve been struggling ever since my satellite Internet provider pointed my dish to a new satellite about five weeks ago. Within two hours after the repoint, I was down and things have been flaky ever since. I’d have no connection for entire days and then I’d be okay for a couple days and then back to the same garbage.

Well, after having another installer spend four hours here on Tuesday and being on hold on the telephone with my provider for what seems like a grand total of about thirty-six hours (it was more than four yesterday and almost three today, repeat that over the course of five weeks and you get the idea), I was sent a new modem and things seem to be working. The guy who repointed the antenna must have shorted something out in the modem in the process of changing things.

So, in other words, a perfectly good system was totally hosed because of one man. I think there’s a theological lesson in there somewhere, but for today, I am just glad to have access again!

You’ll be hearing more consistently from me in the coming days—I hope—so hang in there and thanks for stopping by, even if the posts were a bit erratic lately.
